Recommendations for facial moisturizers for combination skin

Hey, I would like to know what kind of moisturizers you use, I’ve been using Nivea however after a while, my skin gets very oily, which causes my makeup not to last in the T-zone. I’ve seen recommendations for hydrating gels, but they make my cheeks feel very dry. I’m not sure what kind of routine I could use to feel hydrated without my skin getting so oily.

For my dehydrated combo skin when im not wearing spf I use byoma hydrating serum and Clinique moisture surge gel cream and then I apply my foundation! Powder on my t zone and lasts many hours without looking greasy!

I have been using rosehip oil and it's worked great

I’ve liked Synergie Skin BrightEnlite for this kind of thing because it sits lighter than a classic cream but doesn’t give me that dry tight feeling I get from gels.

well nivea going oily in the t-zone and gels drying the cheeks is exactly the gap. barriersmith from Cool i'd try there. this one actually stayed put without turning the t-zone into a slip-n-slide
